My Zoey was 90% at 3 months. She is almost 6 months and 100%. She used to do a "grudge poop" under the table if she was left home alone, but she stopped that about 6 weeks ago. She was very easy to train. I have been off work for a year, so I was able to be home ALL the time. That might have helped. She did take longer to poo on the pad. She had the wee down right away. We also used the positive reinforcement approach. A tiny bit of turkey lunch meat everytime she did it right.(and cheering) Yeah poo poo! I didnt even bother to scold the accidents. Zoey did come from a broker. I know everyone thinks they are bad, but mine was very caring and had started the pee pad training before we got her. I do feel lucky. We use wal-mart "out" puppy training pads and love them.Wishing you all good luck.

Maxwell is 8 months and 95 percent good about not going in the house. But he's regressed about sleeping thru the night after we had weekend guests that upset his routine. sigh...

not to discourage you or anything but princess is a little over 2 yrs old and still not 100% potty trained! i thought she was until last week when she peed on my carpet for no reason

she was so scared though! i thought it was cute because she tried to cover it up by piling things on top and i wouldnt have noticed if she didnt make it overly obvious
